Future Hospital design brief (FOI)

Request

Please send me the design brief for Jersey's new hospital. The design brief is the document that brings together the departmental requirements in terms of space and equipment and sets out the essential relationships between departments in the hospital, to which is added the administrative, technical, support, training and public areas, to establish the overall size and equipment requirement of the new hospital.

If it exists it should have been produced at the beginning of the new hospital planning process in 2012.
